WACO, Ten, Jan. S.-Scott Hufstedter,
Of whom mention wss made in
yesterdays dispatches to THE GA
zxTTF, was brought TO Waco
from Marlin this morning by Deputy
Sheriff Dee Cook and placed In Jail.
Huf,tedter was arrested at Stranger,
Falls county, Thursday morning on a
warrant issued By Justice Makelg, charg-
ing him with attempting to murder J. 9.
Tubb, near Patton, McLennaD county, on
Tuesday nr.RJ lsst. Hufstedter
talked to q GAZETTE reporter this
morning, and SAID ne lived within
half mile Of Stranger, and that on Tues
day evening last 1t O'Clock he was al
the postofliCe and the mail arrived at that
hour. He remained there until dark
Several persons saw him. Among them
was Dr.. Starr and the store-keeper,
MIR. jackson. He was at the store
again the next morning. On Thurs
day morning he went to the store again,
and was engaged in saving wood
when Deputy Sheriff Barlow arrested
him Stranger is twelve miles from
Merlfn-the nearest railroad station. BY
taking q train he could not possibly reach
Patton III less than twenty hours, and the
same distance could possibly be reached
on horseback within twelve hours.
Officer a. Il. Knott and VIM. Tubo, q
brother of the man who was shot, return
ed from Patton last evening. They
state that Mr.. Tubb says he 10 satisfied
Hufstedter is the man whom
he gIappled with Tuesday night,
and VINO attempted TO wrest
the pistol from his hand. He thought De
recognized Huffstedter's voice. While
Tubb and the man were wrestling two
other men ran up and fired on TuoO. The
wound which Tubb received is thought
not to be dangerous. The bell entered the
body lust below the navel and ranged
around toward the back. Perhaps it did
not strike any vital parts. A hearing IN
one of the courts will bring other facts tC
light, and Huffstedter will ask for trial
as soon as practicable.
The Day publishes facts and figures
this evening, showing that the pOsiOLice
department has 50 cut down the allow
ance cor the Waco postcflice that an Ell

Trade WAS affected considerably to-day
by the cold weather.
Apples are very scarce article ard the
tendency in price is decidedly upward.
A NEW DEPARTURE IN sUGAR-MAKING.
The low price of sugar at present, and
its effect upon the planters of Louisiana,
has started an agitation which is likely to
be far-reaching in results. The eompeti-
ton of beet sugar has rendered cane
sugar-gro owing so much less profit
able that st recent meet
ing of the suggr-growers Of St. Mary's
parish, La, some interesting figures and
facts were given out, going o show that
i change is necessary, and pointing to
the direction in which the change could
be successfully made. The plan in brief
is to divorce the growing of sugar-cone
from the manufacturing branch OF tue
trade. At present the raising of sugar is
in the hands of large planters who grow
the cane as well IS possess machinery
Tor grinding and boiling the product.
Small farmers are thus not able TO share
in the industry. A central factory system
would provide for general handling Of
all cane on 5 TT Of cooperative prinCi-
pie. The New Orleans Picayune, in COM
menting on the plan, does not appear to
be greatly impressed. 1t suggests
cold storage warehouses in which
the cane could be deposited
until ready for working Ware
house receipts could then be issued
which could be made transferable and
pass at their face value. IN addition to
the warehouse, of course, the factory
would contain the latest improved ma
chincry for converting the product. The
result would be a concentration of the
industry accompanied by considerable
cheapening OF the finished product,
which would enable the sugar
planters of Louisiana to com
pete with the beet-root product.
These are in brief the suggestions made
by the Plcaylne. Some figures submitted
of a central factory system show a con-
siderable profit over the present system,
which is universally admitted to be no
longer possible with profit. No figures,
Of course, are as yet available as TO the
cost of the system proposed by the Plea
yune. The probable effect upon the sugar
industry as stated above no doubt would
be very great Br9dstreet's.

or three, indeed, which are spacious and
very airy, particularly the Broadway.
The houses in this street have most of
them row of trees before them, which
form an agreeable shade and
produce pretty effect. The whole
length of the town is something more
than a mile, the breadth of it about
half one. The situation is healthy, but
it is subject to great Inconvenience
from the want of fresh water, which the
inhabitants are obliged to bring from
springs at some distance from the town.
The public buildings are the college,
which is finely situated, fronting the
North river, Trinity church, St. Georges
chapel, and several German and Dutch
places of religious worship, handsome
charity school, and barracks capacious
enough to hold 200 men, with a large,
healthy prison."

Beaver refuses to call an extra session
of the Legislature, for the purpose Of
reconsidering the lost revenue bill and
that settles it. The corporations don't
.want to pay any taxes, and the reve-
nLe bill must under no circumstances
become a law. Gov. Beaver is sim.
ply the tool of ther ich corporations and
must dance to the tune they whistle.
Things will remain as they are-the
poor man pays the taxes and the
wealthy corporations are several mill.
ions in pocket simply because they are
more powerful than the people. So
much for Republican rule. We say
vote the Democratic state ticket and

the current year, as compiled by
Bradstreet's is 6,95S. For the same
period in 1886 they numbered 1878 /;
in 1885, s.4S3; in 1884, $500, and in
1888, 1853. This indicates total
number OF failures for 1887 Of 300,
against lO,56s in 1886, ll.ll6 in
1885, 1850 in 1884 and l0,299 in
1888. Of course, some unforeseen
financial disturbance may greatly in
crease these figures during the next
three months The prospect at pres
ent, however, is that there will be
fewer failures, in spite of the vast in
crease in tie number of business con-
Germs, than at any time in FIVE years.
This is one of the significant signs Of
general prosperity that is worthy Of
note,
